“I had lunch at Ziba’s yesterday and it was fantastic! The food was fresh and delicious and the team was super fun and friendly! I highly recommend stoping by.“

“Small portions and slow service. Food was cold. Would not go back“

“Very clean and great service“

“Beyond the Sun is a great spot if you are looking for a quality meal. The chicken marsala with risotto and roasted potatoes was excellent. Service was friendly and fast with no wait. We enjoyed the outdoor seating, plenty of parking in the back, and very few bugs. A bit pricey, but worth it.“

“They are a good influence for the little ones and older teen agers“

“Great place 10 out of 10 I would try this place it's really good!“

“We have been enjoying the fish from this Moby Dick location for many years. For the first time today we were somewhat disappointed. Imagine my shock when I unwrapped our Whale of a Sandwiches and discovered the very small fish fillets. Two pieces were no more than 2/3 the size of the bread and very thin. Only one of the 4 fish fillets among the 2 sandwiches covered the bread. All were thinner than expected. The prices have steadily gone up over the years, which I have no problem with. But, for the price paid, the fish should be significantly larger.“

“I recently visited Moby Dick, and I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the experience was. The place has a casual, no-frills atmosphere that lets the food take center stage. I ordered the kabob platter with rice and a side of their cucumber yogurt, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The meat was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the rice was fluffy with just the right amount of saffron flavor. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the meal felt hearty but clean.

Service was efficient and friendly, and the staff seemed genuinely invested in making sure everyone had what they needed. The only reason I’m holding back from a full five stars is that the dining area felt a little cramped during peak hours, and it could get a bit noisy. Still, the food more than made up for it. Moby Dick is a great spot when you’re in the mood for something flavorful and satisfying without breaking the bank.“

“Been going to Shark's ?for a while, I love everything about them especially the pan fried oysters and catfish nuggets ?. They have the best cook ? in Kentucky and the best hospitality....Jay and Leonard they are the best!!!! The food is super, the restaurant is very clean..“

“Make sure to say hello to Chris behind the bar!! And order a Shrimp Wreck Mary.“

“I have eaten there several times and whatever I order has been delicious. My favorite Mexican restaurant“

“Best cozy atmosphere… best wings and smoked tuna dip out there!!!!“

“Our grouper and fried fish and chips were excellent! Sides were also very good. This was our first visit and we look forward to becoming regulars!“

“We celebrated our anniversary here yesterday with a delicious lunch. Our server, Amanda, was so friendly and helpful! Hubby had the cod and fried oysters and declared the oysters were the best he ever had. My shrimp basket was loaded with huge shrimp and the Cajun fries were very good. We topped that great meal off with complimentary slices of strawberry and chocolate cheesecakes for our anniversary! We will definitely be back!“

“I love this place! We always get the best food and the best service. Tonight our server was KiKi. She was awesome!!��“

“I am gluten intolerant and while the menu is not GF specific the waiter understood gluten intolerance and suggested dishes I would be comfortable with.“

“We just left there. It’s derby day 2026 so they weren’t that busy but the girls that were working were genuinely so nice and so attentive!! One of the girls checked on our drinks the whole time we were eating, which is super nice because she’s not working for tips. Anyway, this was the best Moby Dick food and service I have ever had!! Thank you. 😊“

“Out of all the "fast food" fish places, this one is the best! Personally, I order the Fish and Clams when I go, you dont have to order that but you're also entitled to have a wrong opinion of the best thing to eat, Perfect place for a 3rd date, would willingly fight a goose in the parking lot to get inside if I had to, inside its exactly what you would expect... old people taking up all the tables like some sort of early dinner club, I believe I was the only person not wearing geriatric tennis shoes out of all of my visits there. I feel like the restaurant is slightly misleading because they dont actually have whale on the menu, it seems like basic white fish, the same as the old people inside (basic and white). Overall have went, have returned and Lord willing will return again.“

“Great food at a reasonable price. The fish is delicious. Professional and courteous service.“

“My visit to this Moby Dick fish restaurant left me disappointed. The fish sandwich didn't taste like I recalled from earlier years. I don't know if the batter or the oils in which the fish is fried has changed or if it was my taste buds being a bit off from hours earlier brushing my teeth with toothpaste and mouthwash rinse. Consequently, I'm not going to leave the three star rating I would if I knew for certain it wasn't my taste buds affecting the taste. Even still, the fish sandwich was hot and well prepared and tasted fine, but it seemed just a bit off from the exceptional taste I recalled from a regular visits a few years earlier when I regularly patronized the Moby Dick in St Matthews before it closed. I'll try it again soon and make sure I am hours away from having brushed and rinsed. Ha! I appreciate the Moby Dick establishment and that we still have it in Louisville, so I hope my taste buds were off.“

“Erin was awesome. Best server ever.“

“My sister and I had lunch at Ramsi’s today. The crispy pedal salad is consistently delicious. I highly recommend it. The entrée that I ordered today was good but the chicken was overdone. Ramsi the owner came out to apologize and made it more than right for us . TOP NOTCH CLASS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE! Thanks Ramsi we will definitely be back.“

“This place was wonderful! Yesterday was my first time coming to Grassa Gramma and my husband and I went for an early Valentine's date. The decor and atmosphere was breath taking! Just so gorgeous! Our waiter was kind and gave us the specials for the day. I ordered the baked seafood scampi and my husband ordered the cacio e pepe and we loved it! I even reheated my pasta today and it tastes just as delicious as it did yesterday!“

“I like Brian the bar tender. He is nice, friendly and does a good job. He sure knows how to make a good manHatton I would recommend this place to every body.“

“I noticed they have more seafood in the bag than other places. customer service was good and they quick too.“

“No pictures on this one unfortunately, cause a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Here’s three that sum it up… Just absolutely exquisite

The Salad with the filet medallions and hunks of smoked bourbon bacon 🥓 is to die for… 🤌🏼🌹

Highly recommend when visiting the Louisville area for the Kentucky Derby

Service was excellent and professional and the vibe was totally cool!“

“What not to like, service and food is wonderful. Just priced a bit $$$$$$. But, why not.“

“This place is a 10/10! The atmosphere and staff were AMAZING!! We came to Louisville for the day to find my wedding dress. After I said yes to the dress we decided to try Mussel and Burger Bar! They made my day 1000x extra special, took care of my food and drinks, and even gave me a platter of desserts to try! We are coming back to Louisville for my bachelorette and we will definitely be visiting this place again! The seafood burger was also delicious!“

“Louisville staple! Delicious fish and fries. The fish is thick and not too much breading. Definitely get your moneys worth! Don’t forget to get the onions on your sandwich. So good! Look forward to it every year on Saturdays. Make sure you get there before they run out!!“

“we absolutely love frequent visits to Pass times..the fish is down right amazing ....but the service is exceptional and makes our trip from Shelbyville. there aren't alot of places you can go and the quality and service are both exceptional and y'all are making it happen. we enjoy it every time. thanks for all you do.“

“The best old fashion cocktail we have ever had. The staff were friendly and food was excellent. We will definitely go back.“

“Just moved to Louisville 2 months ago and I can’t get enough of this delicious food. Easily one of my favorite places here.“

“Service was great. Friendly staff. Small portions and food was shockingly bland. Most Latino restaurants give larger portions and food is well seasoned. The location tells me the rent is high so I assume this is how they save money. Ample parking in the rear. I probably will not visit again.“

“We’ve loved Yen Ching for at least 15 years. The food is awesome and the staff are friendly and welcoming. We have tried the tofu with vegetables in garlic sauce, Mongolian beef, and beef with vegetables in garlic sauce. Wonton soup and Crab rangoon are the best around! Highly recommend this place! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food was prepared so well!! All our dishes were nice portions, excellently prepared. Sangria was better than we had in Spain! Waitress was very busy but served us well The only big negative was the noise level. You could not hear folks at your table We would return considering the food was top notch! Yummy mushroom soup, crepe, meat croquettes, empanadas, etc.“

“Excellent food ,lot of choices and great people/service! I d recommend giving it a try!“

“Friendliest staff!! Most delicious food! All around perfect dining experience!!“

“Best around“

“just had the beechmont burger and cheese fries ordered online picked up ...absolutely one of the best burgers in the city flavorful grilled yummy burger everything fresh“

“The best Mediterranean omelette in town. Fabulous service EVERY TIME!!“

“Just had dinner. Trinity was the best server we've had in a long time anywhere!“

“Each item is prepared near perfection. Each time I have been to Stoney River the items ordered are delicious. If I order an item that is a specialty it goes beyond my expectations.
Anyone looking for a wonderful meal and a great atmosphere should try Stoney River.“

“Kim’s Restaurant Korean Rice Cake delivers authentic, well-seasoned Korean comfort food that’s absolutely worth trying. I recommend ordering a variety of items to really experience the menu.

I sampled the Beef Bibimbap, Grilled Rice Cake Skewers, Seasoned Chicken, and Beef Bulgogi, and everything was flavorful, warm, and satisfying. The seasoning is on point, and the dishes make a great addition to any meal, whether you’re sharing or ordering for yourself.

I always choose takeout, as the space itself isn’t especially inviting, but the food more than makes up for it. If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors done well, Kim’s is definitely worth a stop.“
